An adaptive scheduling routing for multimedia services based on software-defined networks

Abstract

We address the routing optimization problem in Software-Defined Networks (SDN) while satisfying multiple QoS constraints of multimedia services. In this paper, we 1) formally define the problem of routing optimization in SDN under multiple QoS constraints, and 2) suggest a novel architecture based on SDN for providing QoS services in the network. We propose an adaptive scheduling routing optimization approach in SDN that improves the classical Dijkstra routing algorithm. We report the results of experiments using the Mininet simulation framework that confirm the advantages of our proposed QoS routing optimization approach as compared to the state-of-the-art solutions.
